Anybody knows an app where I can add widgets to my pattern unlock screen?
Like battery info that kind.
not sure about on the actual lockscreen but lookup battery indicator which puts your battery percentage in the "task bar" if u want to call it that.
Your gonna find several in the market but the one i use is by Darshan Computing
use WidgetLocker
Anyone know about a better battery indicator that shows percentage instead of colours?

Battery Indicator Pro. Worth the money for me.
I donloaded the lite version and it seems to work ok.
Only it comes up in addition to the original one only in the other corner.
Does the pro take over the original?
Bat Stat simple widget on home screen that does fantastic job.
I loved the Bat stat widget. !
Does anyone's widget display the right percentage?
When my tab is fully charged widgets show 86%... I've used a few too.
Usually the little battery icon in the status bar is indicating a higher battery level than what the widgets are reporting to me... Anyone else getting the same?
Do #*0228# . It will show actual data from system. Mine shows exactly the same.

Try "Free Power Widget" by BK Mobility, which you can find in Android Market. It's cool and shows the battery percentage in a nice widget.
I use the switch pro widget which has all the switches you need plus a % battery indicator, all in dark grey and really unobtrusive.
Try typoclock, clockr and battstatt. Awesome on the tab!
Hi guys,
is there any way to get the nice battery mod from samsung galaxys into the samsung galaxy tab ?

Youll have to wait for devs to start tinkering before you can change/mod the current battery icon. 3rd party apps will have to do for now.
So again...what about chaning the battery icon???

I have these both on my Skyrocket and I'm wondering if they are available for this yet? Standard battery icon with the percent over it, and toggles to turn wifi, Bluetooth stuff like that on and off in the pulldown nav.
Also I know I've seen it somewhere. But a mod to force the menu button to always be in the bottom navigation bar?
I can post a picture if you want to see what I mean.

Power Toggles can pin a toggle bar to the notifications pull down, will also show a percentage icon.

That is great, but it doesn't actually automatically toggle like GPS on or off just takes me to the screen to check or unchecked it myself. And though it does show the percentage, I don't think its 1% and definitely not as clean as if it replaces the stock battery icon on the right side.
Also anything for the menu key?

Have you tried 1tap QuickBar for the navigation bar toggles?
Oh man I'd kill for a menu key that's always on. The 3 dots from up and down kinda menu key!
Is there any way to show current battery status on the second screen when phone is in standby?
I hope theirs a way to add it, hate having to unlock phone to check battery percentage
Yes this is driving me nuts as well....would love to see the battery percentage on second screen and not just the battery icon.
I agree. Wish there was a way to display %

I found a work around of sorts for this. It's not perfect but, it works decent. You'll need to get the free app called "Battery Mix" from the Google Play Store.
After install, go into the app settings (icon style wheel (top right)->settings button will appear underneath). The very first setting at the top will be for the Notification Icon. It will say: "Remaining battery icon displayed in the status bar". Make sure this is checked. Then choose an icon style to appear in the status bar if you haven't already. I prefer the Round Rectangle one, personally.
Keep in mind, if you have a lot of uncleard notifications, it may not show in the second screen until you do so.
This app also has a very nice battery alarm feature that allows the app to notify you by notification and sound (even vibration and your phone LEDs) when your phone reaches or drops to certain charge level percentages. This is very handy to remind you to either plug in the charger, or unplug to prevent overcharging. All the best! LGman
One would think that after 8 years in the wild, Android would allow you to have JUST the battery percentage on the status bar. We can't even hide the stock icon without the help of an app or root. Sad really.

And it's not as if they can't, Samsung proved that with their Note 7 where an update changed the battery icon to green
Persistent notification icon + a tasker task that'll only keep the notification active during screen lock will work. It'll take approximately 13 hours to get it to work properly and not bug out, but once you go through that arduous process for a negligible improvement you'll feel satisfied.
But seriously - this is the only way I can see you getting it done. I'm annoyed that the goddamned STOCK clock app won't show a timer on the 2nd screen, which is such an oversight it kills me.
Well, you could just install nova launcher and hide notifications bar and ta daaaa. Time, signal, and battery w/ percentage in 2nd screen. Your welcome. Lol.

Doesn't work for me. My second screen shows signal, time, and battery icon. And now I can't control my second window, ta daaaa.
i've been trying to find a way to do this as well. glad to see i'm not alone. i thought maybe an xposed module would do it..
It isn't perfect, but I did make a Tasker flasher for the 2nd screen that displays the current battery % every 10 seconds. Instructions on how to get it into Tasker are in the first post (the instructions are for a different ticker, but they apply to all of them).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=69401641
In that topic, I also have a new text message (done) and a missed call (possibly WIP) flasher too.

I'm confused, I can always get battery percentage to appear on the status bar of all my android phones. It's just unchecked in battery settings.
This thread was about putting it on the second screen which I don't believe is more than 2 years (still plenty of time though).
The second screen is useless to me. They should make it E-Ink or OLED, saves battery.
I rather have a notification light. Unless i'm using it wrong?

This small little app works for me.

You missed the keywords "just the percentage" as in.. hide the battery icon and only have percentage showing... Without the use of an app or root. And it was a generalized statement pertaining to either the main screen or the second.

If you do that then you can't scroll the second screen anymore. At least in my version of Nova.

Yeah. Your right. That's why I disabled it.
Second screen was a brilliant idea. But they came so short on modifications.
So afaik there is no root yet for Sprint, but will this be needed to change the taskbar icons, such as the battery to show percentages and stuff like 3minit battery mod and stuff?
Thanks!

So I just got home from Sprint with my LG V20, and one thing that I'm trying to figure out is how to make the battery into a percentage instead of that old school CM style battery icon..?? I had a Note 5 and have had android since it first came out but I can't find this setting anywhere..
Thanks!

settings -> general -> battery & power saving -> battery percentage on status bar
FYI if you want a percent on the second screen Batterybot was recommended by another xda member (sorry don't recall username). It works well except when you have too many statuses showing on the second screen it gets bumped from view once and a while.

I use battery widget reborn (free) for the same purpose on the second screen, However, it's always the first notification on the notification panel and the second screen when the main screen is off. I first used it on my G5 so I would always see my battery life on the always on display. It's also highly customizable with the look of the notification pull down menu, showing up to 10 toggles, and also the ability to show the battery chart without having to open the app.
